What size wheels can I fit?  Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region   |
I was screwing around with the wiring on my radio yesterday and heard a snap crackle pop. Now my radio and my wipers don't work. Not sure why. I didn't think they were hooked up on the same fuse. Besides that, I have checked all fuses and everything appears to be good. I checked the fuse panel, none are blown. I replaced one fuse on the stereo as is blew but the other one was fine.
Everything worked before I attempted to "clean up the wiring." Now the wipers and rado are MIA. Any suggestions? Below shows where I hooked the radio into the fuse panel. Any advice is appreciated! Attached image(s)

If there's no power on the battery side of fuse 8, then the wire to the battery may have been toasted. If you can follow the wire to where it goes, check the power there. Again while you're tracing and moving wires, disconnect the battery. Right by the fuse panel behind the speaker in the footwell, there's a +12V terminal lug which brings power from the battery with one fat wire, and distributes power to the fuse panel with several smaller wires. The bad wire may be terminated here. You may have to run a new wire from the this lug to the fuse panel. Disconnect the battery before doing any investigation. Sorry to reiterate about disconnecting the battery but snap-crackle-pop are only good noises in Rice Crispies. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Spoke |
